A man has died and two other people were wounded Tuesday in separate
shootings on the South and West sides, police said.

A 28-year-old man was fatally shot in the 9200 block of South Cottage Grove
Avenue in the Burnside neighborhood, police said.

The shooting happened at 3:38 p.m., striking the man in the head, police
said. The man, who was a known gang member, was taken in critical condition to
Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said. He was later pronounced
dead, police said.

Most recently, a 28-year-old woman was wounded in a shooting around 8:50 p.m.
in the South Austin neighborhood on the West Side, said Chicago Police
Department spokesman Officer Hector Alfaro.

The woman was standing on a sidewalk in the 5900 block of West Madison Street
when several males nearby began to argue and started shooting, Alfaro said.

The woman was hit in the right ankle and was taken to West Suburban Medical
Center, where her condition stabilized, Alfaro said.

At 4:38 p.m., a 20-year-old man was shot in the 5000 block of West LeMoyne
Street in the Austin neighborhood, police said.

The man was standing outside when an attacker emerged from a nearby alley and
started shooting, hitting him in the left leg. The attacker then fled in a
vehicle, Alfaro said.

He was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition, police said.

No one was in custody as a result of the shootings late Tuesday evening.
